Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The TARDIS's absence during crises (Adric's capture during Earthshock, TARDIS disappearance in Time Flight) echoes across episodes, reinforcing the narrative motif of temporal dislocation and reliance on external resources when the Doctor's primary sanctuary is unavailable."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The motif of the TARDIS being unavailable during critical moments creates a parallel structure where companions must operate without their mobile home base, amplifying their psychological strain and forcing the Doctor into improvisational leadership.
